Imagine a world in which subscribers to this list-- all of them
experienced in computer usage-- finally learn to STOP FORWARDING
ENTIRE PREVIOUS MESSAGES with their replies.

Your options are:

1. Select All. Delete. Type.

2. Edit your postings to refer *only* to *relevant* previous text,
properly quoted with > or vertical-bar characters (if you're using
Eudora, Hotmail, or another mailer that understands format=flowed).

3. Start a new message from scratch.

4. Stop using Outlook.

Oh, and no HTML messages, please.

There's no excuse for the massive laziness of forwarding even *one*
previous message in toto, let alone *four* plies of previous text.
Grow up.
